1908--Norwood

 

From a Thursday, April 1908 edition of the Ogdensburg Advance:

 

Norwood News: There is bound to be something doing in the old town this summer. The village board has leased the Fletcher and Harris lot, in the rear of E. A. Weegar's store, and will remove the Firemen's hall to it, necessitating a lot of work and some money. The new Catholic church work will soon be in full blast. Mr. McClelland is preparing to move his house, now on the Catholic society's ground, to his lot on Whitney street. Mr. Weegar expects to move his storehouse to his lot on Baldwin avenue. The pumping contract is likely to be let to the Norwood Sash, Door & Lumber Co., and in such event a new pumping house, and foundations will have to be either built by the village or the company. A new woodworking company has been organized, under the management of John Wells, and will hold forth and do business in a shop to be fitted up in the Norwood Machine Co's buildings, and the Machine Co. contemplates equipping a saw mill for custom work. I.P. Vance will erect a new house on his lot opposite the park, and Mr. Oliver will transform his barn on his Spring street lot into a dwelling house.

At a meeting of the board of directors of Norwood Casket Company, Incorporated, held at their office Thursday evening, the following officers were chosen for the year: H. M. Kinsman, president; F. L. Smith, treasurer, E. E. Woodruff, secretary; W. H. Wells, superintendent. The company voted to build an addition to their factory and install modern machinery for the manufacture of their own product. When the addition is made and all in working order this company will employ about twenty hands. A three per cent dividend was declared to the stockholders, besides leaving a neat little sum in reserve.--Norwood News
